Product Description

Details

myscar is the solution you have been waiting for to help improve the appearance of a scar left from a caesarean section surgery.

It can be done in the privacy of your own home, is non-invasive and drug free! Made with advanced premium silicone technology, these strips are used to improve the colour, size, texture and overall appearance of your scar. They can restore and strengthen connective tissue to flatten and soften your caesarean scar.

Considered by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and doctors alike to be the gold standard in scar rehabilitation. The silicone strip provides slight pressure directly to the scar, mimicking the natural barrier function of healthy skin, helping the skin to better retain moisture. The increased hydration ensures that the damaged skin/scar recovers quicker, reducing the scar's appearance and restoring skin to a more natural colour and texture.

The Active Caesarean Silicone Strips are washable! They are designed for those intending to be more active while their caesarean scar rehabilitates. The strips are 100% medical grade silicone. They are breathable, flexible and soft. You are also able to wash light sweat stains and marks off, allowing you to get the most out of your strips.

The strips are a little thicker compared to the original strips, making them more durable. Perfect for those who intend to take their strip off more than once a day. Each strip can be reused for up to 2 weeks.

6 x Silicone Strips (3 months supply)

CAUTION - For external use only. For use only when signed off by your GP that the incision area has healed, which is usually 6-8 weeks post operation. Sutures must have been removed before applying.
